Now that we've gotten past the 50th anniversaries of the JFK Assassination and Doctor Who, it's worthwhile to look at some OTHER important things that happened near the end of 1963, like <a href="http://the60sat50.blogspot.com/2013/11/december-1963-smiley-face.html">the creation of the first "smiley face"</a>, <a href="http://the60sat50.blogspot.com/2013/11/november-1963-where-wild-things-are.html">the publication of Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are"</a>, and <a href="http://the60sat50.blogspot.com/2013/11/december-1963-uncertainty-and-welfare.html">a paper by Kenneth J. Arrow, professor of economics at Stanford University, which "founded the field of health care economics"</a> (coming to a conclusion that well-funded Economists still deny today).

<a href="http://savemisterrogers.com">After 40 years of national broadcasts, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood will be removed from PBS' weekday program service this fall.</a> The current situation is that PBS beams the show to member stations as part of its children's programming block Monday through Friday. Most (63%) stations air it. Starting in the fall, PBS stations won't receive the show daily but rather one episode per week will be sent. This summer, PBS stations that still want to play the the show during the week will have an opportunity to receive a season's worth of episodes to stockpile. But receiving and scheduling those episodes requires effort. As such, contacting one's local PBS station requesting for the summer stockpile is one step. <a href="http://www.pbs.org/stationfinder/index.html">Here's a link to the station finder</a>. <a href="http://www.pbs.org/aboutsite/aboutsite_emailform.html">One can also contact national PBS</a>. <a href="http://savemisterrogers.com/neighbors/">Mrs. Rogers herself is encouraging people to do this</a>.
